Firstly, it'd like to say how proud I am of our club tonight for getting to this point anyway, as ITV said 15 years ago this week we played against Macclesfield in the 3rd tier of English football and tonight we played Barcelona, arguably the best team in the world.

Secondly, I'd like to say it was a sending off but it was outside the box BUT I can see why he was sent off (I'd have done same) but there's always the second leg.

I'll leave on this note: We had a hard draw and no matter the outcome of the second leg we've done ourselves proud tonight, no doubt a lot of fans will laugh at us and mock us for losing tonight and possibly going out but 10 men against Barca is amazing and we'll keep fighting on as we usually do.

Manchester City isn't about winning or losing, it's not about trophies, it's about the passion, the desire and the pride and that's something we displayed tonight. MCFC!!!

Having to score at least two at Barcelona will surely make our tactics
more aggressive and a lot more attack minded. Which for me will make for a more entertaining game. If we go out, I want it to be in a blaze of glory. With Aguero back on the line and nasri being in full strength and playing the full 90. No matter the result we can be extremely proud of our team.

I agree. I'm proud of the team also. It's a shame we couldn't hold it to 1-0 after how hard we pressed after the Red Card/Penalty. There were a couple of moments where it actually looked as if we could draw even prior to the last goal.

I actually think city would have won if we didnt get that sending off. Anyways im proud of the club. Who would have though we would do this well with 10 men against one of the best clubs in the world, 10 years ago?

Yeah exactly, it's the never say die attitude of the club which has gotten us so far. That spurs game is made even better when you remember Anelka walked off in the first half, so with 10 men and without our best player.

I completely agree with you. Even though we lost, I've had such a giddy feeling all day long. I mean how great is it to host all those amazing players in our home? To play the likes of Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Neymar, et al just feels like such a historic moment for our club.

It's not only that, Barcelona will go home with the win tonight but in no way will they think that the outcome couldn't have gone the other way. We played brilliantly despite going down a man. There was energy, creativity, robust defense, and we managed 3 shots on target despite going down a man! They know very well that Kun could have made the difference in a game like that. It is unfortunate we lost but there was absolutely nothing disgraceful about this loss.

Also, I really wish people would chill the fuck out about Demichellis. I thought he played quite well until the sending off. He was put in a bad situation and risked taking the tackle. It might have not been the best decision, but people are so extreme in their criticism and just scapegoat any problems we've had on him. Everybody who plays FIFA or FM thinks they're an expert at tactics. I really wish people would be more reasonable in their criticism.

I can't see how you say we've done ourselves proud. I love this team and that we made it this far but that was not a display to be very proud of. What would make me proud is if we put up a fight at the Nou Camp.

For all of Barcelona's possession in the first half, they had no shots on goal. We did, and a couple of the chances easily could have been goals had Valdes' performance not been sensational.

Even after the red card, we still looked dangerous. Moments before the Alves goal they showed Clichy breathing deeply, clearly exhausted, then Alves broke at him and slipped past. Playing against 11 men with 10 is exhausting, especially against Barcelona who are masters of the sideways pass.
